Hello Clean Energy Advocates,

The
Clean Coalition announces today the release of Module
2: Establishing CLEAN Contracts Prices of the Local CLEAN Program Guide.The Guide is a comprehensive how-to
guide for communities and utilities across the nation to evaluate, design, and
enact Clean Local Energy Accessible Now (CLEAN) Programs based on global best
practices for ramping cost-effective renewables and reaping the associated economic
benefits.The Guide draws from tremendously
successful CLEAN Programs in the United States, such as the Gainesville, FL
program and the soon-to-be operational CLEAN Programs that the Clean Coalition helped
design in Fort Collins, CO and Palo Alto, CA.

Module
2 of the Guide provides a roadmap for establishing fixed prices for CLEAN
Contracts.Since pricing effects
both the types and amounts of renewable energy that will be deployed, as well
as the timeframes of those deployments, the pricing is a critical step in
designing CLEAN Programs.Module 2
removes the mystery of establishing fixed prices by illuminating the both
potential approaches: value-based pricing based on avoided costs and cost-based
pricing based on deployment costs.

Please
visit http://www.clean-coalition.org/local-action/ to freely download the
Local CLEAN Program Guide.If you
would like to become a local advocate for deploying a CLEAN Program in your
community, please email LocalGuide@.... The remaining
five modules of the Guide will be released throughout the fall.
